well. my point is, people who are motivated to create a tulpa are likely reclusive or introverted to some extent. There are chance for those people to exacerbate their reclusiveness.
It's a chance that tulpas are going to fulfill their needs and stop them from changing their attitude. Or that having a tulpa would make them have it easier with social interactions.

It's a legitimate question. That's a pretty mundane things that happen in your childhood can affect you through your whole life.
Rough answer is, we don't know. I doubt there would be any bad effects, but we would have to do some sort of big long-term study to be sure either way.
It's definitely not going to cause schizophrenia, but could it cause more anxiety? Bad coping mechanisms? More reclusiveness? (edited)
A lot of times you can have it be a 1 in 10, so most people may not be effected even if there is one. You just have to have good research on the topic and we don't have it.
So, do at your own risk. We don't know the consequences and do it anyways.
I do see a lot of young people (like young teens) make a lot of impulsive decisions and get into messes with tulpamancy. I don't know if they would have been a mess anyway without it, though. A lot of them seem to have anxiety problems so they get anxious over system stuff.
Like, most of imaginary friends are made by very little kids. I think imaginary friends made by adults are mature even from the start just because of that they were made by adults.
One person is going to tell you about imaginary companions, the other person is going to tell you about another consciousness. And then you hear about endogenic systems and being part of even bigger mess, basically.
Honestly I don't think this is what makes tulpamancy a mess. Tulpamancy is messy because the community is fractured into little sub groups and there is little scientific understanding of the practice. I think these ideas towards tulpamancy is what makes it diverse.
I think for outsiders, the simple solution is to explain there are multiple ways to interpret tulpamancy and if you want a tulpa, pick your favorite. You can give a beginner a taste of what those different opinions are and they will naturally gravitate towards the opinion they like. For instance, I think Jaeth/Wiggins and Lolcery/Lynn have very different views on tulpamancy than I do and I think that's because I proposed options and I helped them build their models rather than constrain them to mine.
I am a mentor, but I have two systems I'm mentoring and that's enough for me honestly. I like to give my mentees a lot of my time and a third one would be overwhelming for me

I tend to follow a different approach from most tulpamancers- I like to come up with models and discuss tulpamancy, do a little bit on my own, and then immediately tell people about the progress I made if I made any. This is what works for me and makes me happy, but I have been criticized for this approach by multiple tulpamancers

Honestly I'm not really sure why though, I don't fully understand why my model crafting makes people frustrated
I can't think of a good example to share sadly. I know people got frustrated at me because it took me a really long time to figure out switching but that's different from people being upset with me because I'm just model crafting.
I also find that if I don't have a more solid idea on what experience I'm expecting, I will likely fail to have that experience. Having an idea of how something works is helpful for achieving that thing.

Once we accidentally switched, but we more or less lost the ability immediately because we couldn't figure out how to replicate it. Only several months later we got switching down(edited)
Our switching is pretty different from a lot of people's. When I switch in, I become the dominant personality of the body. I can zone out and even forget I exist and still control the body
Judecca- I had experiences with switching before understanding it. And could replicate it quite intuitively. Altough understanding it later boosted effectiveness too.(edited)
Judecca- It would be very hard for us to force me switch just for the sake of it and act the same as if there was no switch. For example, pretending to be him in front of family is effectively being him after all.
The point about switching is that it feels genuine. We genuinely think we are me. But in certain circumstances it might be hard to achieve that being genuine and therefore to switch.
Perhaps that is implied consent in action- if your headmate isn't happy with what you're doing or if the collective mind detects an inconsistency, that may degrade or potentially stop a switch
Yeah i asked to try and just did it. My host made himself form witch he is controlling and i'm here. I just changed broken lightbulb and am feeling happy about it. We tried switching in and out a few times and it works
